The Christian group American Family Association is promoting a 12-disc DVD set that they assure you will help you “conquer porn.”

Which, I’m sorry to say, means the opposite of what you think it means…

So does this:

And this:

And this:

The DVD set is actually five years old, despite being advertised again now, and the video promoting the series looks like someone packed as much testosterone as he could in three minutes. There are planes, weapons, fire, and a bunch of guys who believe the man below will turn off their sexual desire… at least until marriage.

You may want to turn the volume down before watching this video, in which that guy, Dr. Ted Roberts, tells people that the series will “put a weapon in your hand.” (Ironically, that’s also the problem you’re trying to solve.)

Let’s get this out of the way: Porn addiction is a real thing. If you can’t go to work, or go to your classes, or have intimate relationships with a significant other because you just have to watch adult content, then you need help. But that’s not what this series is about. They think any kind of masturbation is wrong. It’s not like this series is going to tell you what qualifies as an acceptable amount of porn to see.

It could be worse. They could say that masturbation is really just a form of homosexuality since guys are holding a penis in their hand. Who knows. Maybe they do. I haven’t watched the DVDs.

The only way this will cure a porn addiction is that it’ll give people hours of material to watch with no chance it’ll bring them any sort of pleasure.
